A bank note is a bank certificate that represents an item or stack of items of the same type. It is equivalent to actual items, but cannot be used physically until exchanged for an object, in a bank.
With very few exceptions (such as mysterious emblems), tradeable items can be 'noted' and 'unnoted' in a bank. This is useful for players who wish to trade large amounts of items at a time. They are also useful for training magic or simply converting the items into coins via the Low or High Level Alchemy spells.
Many, if not all, bank notes can be used on a banker or bank booth/chest to be unnoted quickly. Players do not need to enter their Bank PIN to do this.
For a small fee, bank notes may also be unnoted by banknote exchange merchants like Phials in Rimmington or the Banknote Exchange Merchant in Pollnivneach. This may be useful when training skills that require a lot of resources.
Trivia
- In RuneScape Classic, players could only get certificates for a few selected items—the item can then only be "un-noted" by the shop of which it can be bought from.
- The actual bank note item is unobtainable by players, and uses the name Template for cert.
- According to Drezel during Priest in Peril, bank notes contain text reading "I promise to pay the bearer on demand the listed number of <item>s".
- The Bank Note system is loosely based on the old english monetary system. A system in which a pound note entitled you to the ownership of a 1lb of sterling silver that was under safe keeping of the bank. Similar to how a note of an item entitles you to the ownership of one of those items that is under safe keeping of the bank.
